remote control your music player from the Jabra CLIPPER with
functions such as Pause, Play, Stop & Skip Track (can be phone

objects between the headset and the device it is connected

(Electrostatic discharge) incidence. Press the Multi-Function

including the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for
music streaming.
If the above procedure did not help then it is possible that your
phone is using the stereo audio connection in a different way. You
can enable this mode on Jabra CLIPPER by performing pairing in

Taking care of your headset

- Always store the Jabra CLIPPER with the power off and safely
protected
- Avoid storage at extreme temperatures (above 45C/113F
including direct sunlight or below -10C/14F). This can shorten

Glossary
1. Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices,
such as mobile phones and headsets, without wires or cords
over a short distance approx. 33 feet (10 meters). Get more
information at www.bluetooth.com
2. Bluetooth profiles are the different ways that Bluetooth
devices communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones
support either the headset profile, the hands-free profile
or both. In order to support a certain profile, a phone
manufacturer must implement certain mandatory features
within the phones software.
3. Pairing creates a unique and encrypted link between two
Bluetooth devices and lets them communicate with each
other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not
been paired.
4. Passkey or PIN is a code that you enter on your mobile phone
to pair it with your Jabra CLIPPER. This makes your phone and
the Jabra CLIPPER recognize each other and automatically
work together.
5. Standby mode is when the Jabra CLIPPER is passively waiting
for a call. When you end a call on your mobile phone, the
headset goes into standby mode.

Dispose of the product according
